Spring Lamb - Whimsy Blog Hop!

Can you believe it is February already? I don't know where January went but I do welcome February because it means new digi images are released today at Whimsy Stamps and there's a blog hop to showcase them, get inspiration from a super talented team plus there's a chance to win some images!

The hop starts today, runs for one weekend and ends on Wednesday February 08, 2012 at 12 Noon EST.

To have a chance at winning, you need to leave a comment on each of the design team blogs as you hop because there are two random blogs among the DT posts who each will select a comment and the winner will get to choose a digi of their choice. The Grand Prize winner of the hop will receive 5 new digital stamps of their choice from Whimsy.And it's a good time... the team has come up with some fabulous inspiration for you to check out plus you get a look at the new digis for the month which will be available in the store today. Your first stop should be the Whimsy Inspiration blog and in case you lose your way, simply go back to for the hop order. You should have arrived here from the very talentedCharlene's blogand you next stop will be to see what fab creation Tanya has whipped up.

So... onto the card and some info about it. The new release I used is Spring Lamb. The patterned paper is a piece from DCWV's 'Preppy Princess Stack' collection, the binding is Whimsy's Fern Leaf Ribbon. Flowers and gems are Petaloo FloraDoodles (#1283-211) and I used Copics to colour the image. Those are some funky little flowers which I've had for ages and never really knew what to use them on until now. I tried to do something different with the wool and although I don't thing it really looks like wool at all, I do like it much better than plain. After I'd coloured it, I took the edge of a towel and dipped it into Copic's colourless blender solution and pressed it down to lift the colour and give it a more mottled look. The sentiment is computer generated.
